TICKET HOLDER OR TILL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 458,595, dated September 1, 1891.

Application filed January 12, 1891- Serial No. 377,545 (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, ALBERT ROKUsEK, PHELPs SANFORD, and EDWARD B. HARVEY, citizens of the United States, and residents of Cleveland, Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ticket Holders or Tills, of which the followin is a full specification.

This invention relates to a till or holder for tickets, and has for its object to greatly facilitate the holding and handling of tickets; and the invention consists in the novel construction and combinations, substantially as hereinafter described,and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation of our new ticket-holder comprising three tills. Any number of tills may, however, be used. Fig. 2 is a side or edgeelevation of the same, showing peculiar position of the tickets in the till.

Ais a back board or wall for supporting the tills, &c., which maybe attached or hung on a wall or otherwise supported in an up 2 5 right position.

13 B are tills for holding tickets, which may be made of metal or other suitable material and arranged on the said board or back in any number and order required. These tills,

0 or pockets, as they may be called, are tri angular in shapethat is, the front or bottoms are made in an oblique line to theback for the purpose of holding a number of tickets in such manner or form that the forward 3 5 tickets will extend slightly above those back of them, thus enabling the tickets to be readily removed one at a time without disturbing or displacing the others.

0 O are spring-bails, preferably made of wire, secured at the sides of the board A, ex- 40 tending up the sides and across above the tills, and are designed to clamp and hold the tickets in the position above stated.

D D are bars or ribs attached to the back board, against which the upper parts of the tickets lie, and are located a little above the plane of bearing of the said bails, the purpose being to hold the tickets outward and prevent their lying flat against the back, and as the number of tickets grows less the pressure of the bails will cause the tickets to be curved inward and cause the upper edges of the tickets to project forward, so that the tickets may be easily and readily grasped singly for speedy withdrawal. The middle front of the tills or pockets may have a notch or opening cl, if desired, and the front may also have lugs, ears, or strips 6 6 formed or secured thereon for the convenience of attaching or holding labels, for inemorauda, or for designating the kind or class of tickets contained in the tills.

Having described our invention, what we claim,and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

A ticket-holder consisting of back A, inclined pockets B, clamping-bails O, and bearing-strips D, in combination, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
